DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

ANYONE may attend...the Ramada does this for every PIR group as a courtesy, it is free. There will be many there that don’t know about N4M’s!
The hostess will make a name tag for you . Half way through the evening she will come in and offer anyone to come up and introduce themselves.
Those staying at the Ramada will get a voucher for two free drinks and they have a cash bar. They have five or six kinds of finger foods. They do not mind if you bring in a water or soft drink with you. The RSVP just helps them get a head count so they know how much food to prepare. But I am sure they make a bit extra!

You do not have to rsvp for this, they will give you the 2 drink tickets and the finger foods from 6pm-8pm Thursday night. But you can do it on here anyway if you would like. You will want to get an early flight so you can get to hotel for relaxation, you can check in at 3pm, and maybe even earlier I was told. I spoke to Sheena tonight, she was most awesome! She told me to tell you guys that they are here for us 24 hours a day to answer any of our questions. Make sure the card you use to book reservation, you bring it with you, they need the card and you to charge the room. So don't forget it! If it's snowing don't worry, they are good at plowing the roads and salting them. You don't need chains for your car or rental vehicle. Also if your child is 12yrs or older just have them bring a school ID, and SS (but that is not necessary, just school ID) Bring proof of car insurance for SURE, if you have a rental car and get insurance through the rental, then they (the base) only need to see car rental contract. Ceremony starts at 9am, base opens at 6:30am. Ramada complimentary shuttle leaves at 7am-7:15am. You can leave then too with your rental car because they start seating at 8am. The base is located 10-15 minutes away from the Ramada Inn. She hooked myself and daughter up with a great room. I'm looking forward to meeting the other families and seeing my son graduate. God is good.
